STRAY DOGS SHOULD BE KILLED,
Would Mean the Saving of Many Lives
and of Much Wealth.
There are three kinds of dogs --the
ownerless stray, the other person's,
and your own dog. The first -named
kind shottld be eliminated and the
second should stay home and not tres-
pass on your property.
The third should be kept in restraint
4' and not allowed the full freedom of the
house or even of the outside premises.
He should not be allowed to be famil-
iar with people, and especially with
children. He shoukd be kept free
from external parasites by frequent
baths and, if necessary, other approp-
riate measures; should be freed from
internal parasites by suitable mea-
sures, and kept free by adequate at-
tention to his food. He should. be al-
lowed to leave the yard or kennel
only in company with some person,
and wherever conditions call for it he
should,be kept 4n leash.
When away from home the dog
should be muzzled with a reliable
metal muzzle, not with a strap nuz-
zle which is usually so loose as mere-
ly to give a false sense of security,
tineo It permits the dog to bite.
The time has come when the stray
dog, the cross dog, the sheep -killing
dog, and the vagrant should be killed.
The killing of such dogs would mean
a"saving of many lives and of millions
of dollars. •
There is a land where the sinking sun MORALE IS BROKEN'
The Canadians at St. Julien.
Flings a crimson shadow o'er
Both friend and foe, when the battle's IN GERMA PEOPLE
won,
And those who will Sight no more.
Where the great pale moon glides, sail-
ing high,
Blessing with silvery light
Men who tate pangs of death defy
For Britain in the right.
These are the men of the Bulldog
breed,
• Over the waves they cane,
For Honor called and her voice they
heed
In life and death the salve.
From the land where the lofty maples
grow,.
And the pine trees top the hills;
From the land of tho south wind and
the snow,
And the glimmer of lakes and rills.

From the land of the strong man, and
the free,
They are come in Jnstiee's cause
To the "old grey Mother" across the

9.nd civilization's laws.
Outflung on Flanders" battlefields,
In one long, thin khaki line,
Each as his spade and bayonet wields
Doone; the fate of the Hun's rapine,
Each, with his rifle and hand grenade,
is wiping away the blot
Of blood and shame and a word be-
trayed,
Where Belgium now is not.
To the cannon's Woe the grey dawn
gleams
O'er shattered St. Julien,
And the white fog lags o'er stagnant
streams,
As the fox creeps home to hisaden,
The bugles sound on the distant air,
As the battle lines awake;
They rouse the men that are ready to
dare
The odds that Britons take,
The Canadian boys are very few,
But they're here to do or die,
For the drive on. Calais must not go
through,
And the foe must not go by.
Outnumbered by six to ane, they stand,
As they bar the chosen way, as
A gallant, small (`ilnadian band,
That the German advance must stay,
The Prussian Guard, like a foaming
wave
That hrealcs on a jagged rock,
Wlien the wild winds shriek and the
wild seas rave
Till the cliffs shake from, the shock.
Beats on that reef of Canadian steel
In fury of pride, and power;
Breaks as the brave and the strong
men reel
'Neatlt the shrapnel's withering
shower. -
They beat, they break, they melt away,
But fresh troops take their place,
While, e Bary and dying, the whole
long day
Our boys ]told a wider space.
For each where he stood, when his
fight is done,
Sinks to rest on that blood-stained
field :
So Is Canada's glory won
13y her men who will not yield.
\Vhy sing of Sparta's heroes when
The sons of the Maple Leaf
Alone saved the day at St. Julien
And our Empire's heart from grief?
Who still, as their widening spaces
grew,
Shot with unswerving aim?
Aid would not come, and on them they
knew
Britain staked her hope and fame.
If the Prussian had learned of their
weakness then,
And their fallen ranks of slain,
Their sacrifice at St. Julien,
Alas! would have been in vain.
Our country shall hallow her noble
dead
In their graves beyond the sea,
And our troops will follow where they
have led,
To keep the old flag free. -
No more shall the stirring bugle call
Arouse them from their sleep;
Till the angels come at the end of all
Their Unbroken rest they keep.
There lies a land where the western
sun
Flings a crimson glory o'er
The few who grieve by a shattered
gun
For the friends who will' fight no
more.

CONTRAST WITH THE ATTITUDE
OF FRANCE IN 1871.:
Pride and Arrogance Changed to Un-
dignified Humility in the Hour
of Defeat.
The moral backbone of the German
people is broken. It was their nation-
al pride that often shocked us—their
arrogance or sometimes a kind of
childish delirium over the tremendous
greatness of their kaiser, the empire,
the people themselves, and their vir-
tues. All this was based on the firm
belief in the invincibility of the'.Ger-
man organization, art, science and in-
dustry, Now they have found that
they had built their house on sand,
and everything has fallen to pieces.
From one extreme they have gone at
once to the other, from arrogance to
humility, from noisy boasting to la-
mentable despair. There is no algni-
ty in the way they carry their defeat.
There is no honest self -scrutiny; no-
body will accept any responsibility
for what has happened and for the
crimes committed; everybody lays
the fault on somebody eises-'on the
Hohenzollerns, Ludendor f, ' Tirpitz.
They try to get away from the fact
that the whole people will have to pay
for the debts the I olienzollern$ have
incurred, but which they sanctioned.
They have forgotten how once they
all sang "Deutschland ober Allies,"
which meant they would fight for Ger-
many's supremacy in Europe.
Contrast With the French.
The Germans had too much pride
before, Many of them have none at
all now. How different were the
French after 1871! They did not
travel because outside their own fron-
tiers they felt the more acutely the
shame of their defeat. Nine out of
ten of upper-class Germaus I have met
asked, "Haw is Paris now, and Lan-
don and Nice? You cannot imagine
how we Miss it. How soon do you
think we can go back there again?"
The French after 1871 at" once be -
gen to work harder than ever with
new strength and with the idea of
winning back Alsace-Lorraine within
their new frontiers through a higher
development of industry, commerce,
art and science. The Germans seem
to have lost all spirit of enterprise.
Only the most necessary work is done.
and even that is badly done. Nobody
seems to care. Nothing is done to
transform the factories which bad
served the purposes of, war into fac-
tories of peace production. In some
of them the workmen are kept .a,nd,
paid, though the works stand still.
The workmen pass the day playing
cards. But do not think they are sat-
isfied. In one factory where not a
stroke of work had been done for
months the workmen, or card -players,
even asked for an increase of pay and
a six -hour day. When this was re-
fused they threatened to strike.
Capitalists do not dare to invest
their money in industry, mines, or
commerce, but try to smuggle it out
of the country out of reach of sociali-
zation and taxes. Some offered large
sums if agents would smuggle their
money and securities into a neutral
country.
German Industry,
German industry really is now
handicapped. It was able to compete
favorably before the war because it
had cheap transport, coal and labor.
Now transport is expensive, and con-
sequently coal is dear In most parts
of the country. Labor, as compared
'with the rest of Europe, is very dear—
even an unskilled workman gets six-
teen marks ($4) a day. The employ-
ers do not yet know if. and under what
conditions, they will get raw materials;
nor when and where they will be al-
lowed to sell. But even if there were
free trade throughout the world, and
'Germany -given absolutely equal condi-
tions with the other states, she would
not be able to compete for at least
some years, except to a certain extent
in the chemical industry.
The national pride is gone, and
what is more, there' is no money to
make in the Fatherland; therefore, a
great number of Germans have men-
tioned their intention to obtain natura-
lization in some other country as soon
as possible. They had still the pre-
tension to speak of their kultur mis-
sion as colonists in Holland or Scan-
dinavia. These countries will cer-
tainly have to protect themselves
against German immigration through
very special laws.
When Germans discuss defeat, as
they often do even with strangers,
they never admit that they were beat-
en in a military sense. One often,
hears the "expression "our invincible
field grays." They admit two causes
of defeat, the British blockade and
British propagranda: these together
shook the morale of the people and
prepared' the revolution. That even a
decisive battle was fought between
Gambrel and St. Quentin they ignore,
as well as the fact that the final blow
of Marshal Foch's offensive was to be
delivered by General Castein.au in the
south about November 15, which, of
course, was known by the German ne-
gotiators and prompted their decision
to accept unconditional surrender.
The Future Seems Vague.
It seems to tale that only the Sooiai-
ists in Germany understand that the
basis of the armistice was an uncondi-
tional capitulation; the others seem
to imagine that the armistice was a
kind of preliminary peace in which
Germany 'obtained certain •guarantees
on the bads ,.of Mr. Wilson's fourteen
points. Only the Socialists admit that.
the situation is such that the German
Government will have to accept the
Allies' peace conditions, however hard
they are. But the Democrats still
make an attempt to show some na-
tional bluff dear to the old government.
They often say that if the peace con-
ditions go one single inch farther than
Mr, Wilson's points the Germans will
have been cheated, and the govern-
ment may refuse to sign them.
The Socialists hate war too sincere-
ly to think of revenge, even if they
also would resent a diminution of Ger-
man territory and heavy indemnities.
But the Conservatives are chauvinists,
and preaeh revenge whatever nay
happen,
BELGIAN STATE TREASURES,
Guarded by Britain During War and
Now Returned to Owners,
When the Germans made their on-
slaught on Belgium, the national trea-
sures were hurried across to England
piecemeal, any reasonably safe meth-
od of transit being adopted, It is tm-
ders80od that
at any rate the bulk of
the State valuables were saved, On
arrival in England they were all as-
sembled at the Bank of England,
'ehere they have been kept since.
The task of getting them back to
Belgium was obviously one of great
responsibility, and every precaution
was taken to ensure secrecy and safe-
ty. The cargo was sent in charge of
bank and Government officials, At
Tilbury docks three special ships of
the John Cockerell Line were waiting
to take It across. Ten of twelve
"swatches" mounted guard on the voy-
age. The vessels were escorted by
destroyers as far as Dutch waters.
It is impossible definitely to fix the
value of the cargo, but it is said to be
close upon $500.000,000. It consisted
of thousands of sealed packages con-
taining bullion, scrip, and all the valu-
able State documents ot the Belgian
Government and Crown, including a
lame number of secret papers which
belonged to the late King Leopold.
The assets of tho Post Office Sav-
ings Bank --a great deal in actual cash
---also formed part ot the cargo, which
is described as the most valuable load
ever taken across the seas.
At Antwerp the cargo was trans-
ferred to special trains and carried to
Brussels, where it was received by
officials of the Belgian Government.

A Neglected Fertilizer.
Many towns and cities have ex-
perienced a scarcity of manure since
the vacant -lot garden movement has
become so popular, The St. ',Choreas
Horticultural Society, a very wide-
awalte institution, has met this ditii-
eulty by collecting and storing an-
nually about 400 loads of pavement
sweepings, stable manure and leaves.
This is stored in a convenient place
Just outside the city where it decom-
poses, being frequently turned to has-
ten rotting and prevent burning. It
is afterwards applied to the Society's
boulevard beds and to reclaimed waste
areas, whilst some is sold to members.
It is important that as much leaves
and stable manure as possible be
mixed with the pavement sweepings
as the latter are apt to be leached out
and to consist of a good deal of dirt
not of high manurial value.

REFUSED TO USE GAS IN WAR.
Great Britain Refected the Idea as Far
Back as 1812.
In their defence of the use of poison
gas the German military authorities
declared that the idea originated with
the British admiral, Lord Dundonald,
better known as Lord Cochrane. In
the discussion a great deal of know-
ledge considerably out of the beaten
track has been aired. In a paper re-
cently issued by the British Ministry
of Information tile German allegation
is dismissed; the grounds may be
biiefly stated as follows:—
It is a matter of history that in 1812
Dundonald submitted to the prince re-
gentsafterward George IV., secret war
plans 'which included the use of as-
phyxiating gas. A committee of ex-
perts to whom the proposal was re-
ferred expressed the opinion that the
mode of attack was "infallible and ir-
resistible," but it was not sanctioned.
.In 1840; when there was a threat of
war, Dundonald again submitted his
plans to the British. government. The
Duke of Wellington thought well of
the idea, but with his practical good
sense pointed out that "two could play
at that game."
In 1846 the plan was again referred
to a "committee," which reported that
it was not desirable that any experi-
ments should be made, on the ground
that part of the plans "would not ac-
cord with the principles of civilized
Warfare." - „
-Later, when again there was ,talk of
war, Dundonald was asked about his"
scheme, but once more it. was re-'
Jetted.

Potato Seed Tests.
Tests by the Ontario Department of
Agriculture, last year, showed that
potatoes grown from Northern Ontario
seed yielded 30 bags per acre more
than those grown from Old Ontario
seed. New Brunswick seed did not
give quite as good results as that
from Northern Ontario.' These tests
will be continued for three years
more and an effort will now be made
to test the productivity of various
soils In the province planted to the
same kind of seed.

Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain
o•--r�--a—o
Sore corns, bard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers it you
will apply directly upon the corn a, few
drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati
authority.
It is claimed that at small cost one
can get a quarter of an ounce of free-
zone at any drug store, which is snail -
dent to rid one's feet of every corn
or callus without pain or soreness or
the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and while sticky, dries the moment it
is applied and does not inflame or even
irritate the surrounding tissue.
This announcement will interest
many women here, for it is said that
the present high-heol footwear is put-
ting corns on practically every
woman's feet.
A Quick Relief
for Headache
A headache is frequently caused
by badly digested food; the gases
and acidsresulting therefrom are
absorbed by the bipod which in
tura irritates the nerves and.
causes painful symptoms called
headache, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, etc. 15 to 30 drops of
Mother Seigel's Syrup will correct
faulty digestion and afford relief.
